A Lao Stream in Ta Lao village, Ta Long commune, Dakrong district, is an ideal community-based ecotourism destination that attracts many visitors for swimming and experiencing the local culture during the summer and holidays. According to Ho Thi Ngam, head of the A Lao Stream Community Tourism Cooperative, anticipating this year's tourist season, the cooperative has proactively invested over 100 million VND to renovate the site, build eight sturdy bamboo huts, decorate monkey bridges, hammocks, and check-in points, and post service price lists... all aimed at providing visitors with the best possible experience.

Besides focusing on upgrading facilities, the A Lao Stream Community Tourism Cooperative actively researches, learns, and adds more specialty dishes to its menu at various price points. They also sell some characteristic products of the Van Kieu and Pa Ko ethnic minorities at the tourist site, allowing visitors to conveniently choose and purchase them as gifts for relatives and friends when visiting and experiencing A Lao Stream.

“Currently, we have completed over 70% of the construction and will start welcoming guests at the end of March 2025. In particular, we always prioritize ensuring security and safety for tourists, while also enhancing the sense of responsibility and service attitude of the cooperative members, aiming to build a civilized, friendly, and ideal destination for tourists and locals,” Ms. Ngam added.

With a mindset of readiness for this year's peak tourist season and festivals, accommodation establishments and travel service businesses are actively introducing and promoting their products, services, tours, and routes, launching many discount and promotional programs, while committing to not increasing prices and publicly and transparently listing service prices to attract customers.

Camel Golden Sea Resort is located in the Cua Viet Tourist and Service Area, Cua Viet town, Gio Linh district. Although it has only been operating for a few years, with its tranquil and refreshing garden space and two large central swimming pools, Camel Golden Sea Resort has attracted a large number of tourists for relaxation and experiences during the summer and holidays.

Sharing about the business plan for the upcoming peak tourist season, the CEO of Camel Golden Sea Resort, Nguyen Truong Phu, stated: “As one of the resorts trusted and chosen by many customers who book rooms very early for holidays, especially in the summer, Camel Golden Sea Resort always strives to proactively prepare adequate facilities, human resources, and organize professional training courses for staff and workers to provide the best service to tourists.”

In particular, on April 15, 2025, the resort will open the Camel Beer Beach Club, catering to the entertainment and music needs of tourists and locals at night while staying at the resort and in the surrounding areas. This is also an impressive highlight of Camel Golden Sea Resort during this year's peak tourist season.”

According to a report by the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the province currently has 236 accommodation establishments with 3,481 rooms and over 5,977 beds, including 66 hotels with 1-4 stars and standard hotels, and 170 guesthouses, homestays, etc.

Regarding travel and tour guide services, the province currently has 10 businesses providing international travel services and 16 businesses providing domestic travel services that meet the requirements to serve tourists. Tourism revenue has grown quite strongly, averaging over 7% per year, and the quality of tourism products has improved over the years.

Many types of tourism have been developed, especially shaping and enhancing the attractiveness of festivals such as: "National Reunification," "Bridge Across Asia," "Gratitude in July," cultural festivals "For Peace," " Culinary Culture," while also creating many new tourism products.

In 2024 alone, Quang Tri welcomed over 3 million tourists, including 168,000 international visitors, the highest number ever recorded, and this number is projected to increase significantly in the coming years. This is a positive sign as tourism has been identified as a key economic sector, attracting investment and creating breakthroughs to help Quang Tri transform and develop.

In order to promote the initiative and creativity of individuals and businesses in the tourism sector, in addition to providing support through mechanisms and policies, Quang Tri province has actively sought out capital sources in recent years to focus on investing in the development of tourism infrastructure; in particular, concentrating resources on developing a comprehensive, targeted, and synchronous tourism infrastructure.

In addition to leveraging support from the central government, Quang Tri province has mobilized a significant amount of capital through targeted tourism development support programs combined with local resources to focus on investing in tourism infrastructure development. Technical infrastructure serving socio-economic development and tourism in the province has received significant investment and upgrades, with many infrastructure projects completed and put into operation.

On the other hand, the province is currently investing in many new projects from various sources to quickly complete the tourism service infrastructure, creating conditions for the development of the province's coastal tourism. This includes securing investment capital from the ADB under the project "Developing tourism infrastructure to support inclusive growth in the Greater Mekong Subregion - Phase II" with a total investment of US$11.434 million.

Overcoming numerous obstacles and challenges, the tourism industry successfully completed its assigned plan for 2024, achieving social revenue of 2,400 billion VND (a 31.8% increase compared to the same period in 2023), of which specialized revenue reached 975 billion VND (a 43.3% increase compared to the same period in 2023)... This result is a crucial driving force for the tourism industry to continue its breakthrough in 2025.
